because magma are molten materials which exist below the solid rock of the earth's crust .we sedimentary rocks are formed by the result of deposition or accumulation and lithification of sediments of some weathered particles and other different materials therefore magma not often made because they don't contain fossils

Is granite metamorphic sedimentary or igneous?

igneous. Made from slowly cooling magma. :)


How is the igneous rock changed to sedimentary rock?

Sedimentary rock goes deep in the Earth and reaches magma. It then melts and becomes part of the magma. Since the newly formed magma is less dense than the surrounding rock it is lighter than the surrounding rock and it goes up and cools. It then becomes an Igneous rock.


Are there two pathways through the rock cycle in which magma becomes sedimentary rock?

Yes, there are two pathways in the rock cycle through which magma can transform into sedimentary rock. The first pathway involves magma cooling and solidifying into igneous rock, which can then be weathered and eroded into sediments that are transported and eventually lithified into sedimentary rock. The second pathway involves the direct alteration of magma through processes like hydrothermal activity, which can lead to the formation of mineral deposits that, over time, may contribute to sedimentary rock formation through erosion and deposition.


What sedimentary rock turns into the igneous rock basalt?

None. Basalt is formed by the rapid cooling of mafic (silica-poor) magma. It is not formed from sedimentary rock.


How igneous rock changes to sedimentary rock?

Sedimentary rock to change to Igneous rock by applying heat and pressure , which creates Metamorphic rock . Next , Metamorphic rock turns to Magma because it melts . Lastly you have to let the Magma cool and it becomes an Igneous rock . That is how Sedimentary rock changes to Igneous rock .

What process changes a sedimentary rock into an igneous rock?

Sedimentary rock can change intometamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rockcan change into igneous or sedimentary rock. Igneous rock forms when magma cools and makes crystals. Magma is a hot liquid made of melted minerals.


Does sedimentary rock form from the cooling of magma?

No. Igneous rock forms from the cooling of magma.


Is sedimentary rock formed from cooling magma?

No, sedimentary rock is formed from the deposition and compression of sediment such as sand, silt, and clay. Cooling magma forms igneous rock when it solidifies.


Can igneous rock and sedimentary rock and metamorphic rock turn into magma?

no it can't


Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?

No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.


How sediments can become igneous rock?

The sedimentary rock melts,which causes magma. When the magma cools it becomes an igneous rock.


Where is igneous rock in magma intrusion into sedimentary rock?

In dikes and sills.


Is there a pathway through the rock cycle in which magma becomes sedimentary rock?

Yes, when igneous rock (magma) has solidified and then gets subsequently eroded, the eroded particules can get blown or washed into rivers for example, and then can form sedimentary rocks further down the chain.


How are igneous rock and sedimentary rocks similar?

They are all made of minerals. They are solid. They are part of the rock cycle.


How does a sedimentary rock becomes a ingeous rock?

A sedimentary rock can become an igneous rock through the process of melting and solidification. If sedimentary rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures in the Earth's crust or mantle, they can melt and form magma. This magma can then cool and solidify to form igneous rocks.


Is a sedimentary rock formed below earth's surface as magma?

No. A rock formed below earth's surface as magma is an igneous rock.


How can a sedimentary rock form into a igneous rock?

it melts into magma then cools and hardense
